Cities, towns and other built-up environments should constitute a good and healthy living environment and contribute to a good regional and global environment. Nature and cultural values ​​should be utilized and developed. Buildings and facilities must be located and designed in an environmentally adapted manner and so that good long-term management of land, water and other resources is promoted.

Fresh Air

The air should be so clean that people's health and animals, plants and cultural values ​​are not damaged.

Limited climate impact

According to the UN Framework Convention for Climate Change, the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere must be stabilized at a level that means that people's impact on the climate system will not be dangerous.

The goal is to be achieved in such a way and at such a rate that biodiversity is preserved, food production is ensured and other goals for sustainable development are not compromised. Together with other countries, Sweden has a responsibility for achieving the global goal.
